Someone did something unkind.
How will I respond? Anger,
silent resentment? No, I see
my friend with eyes of loving
knowing, for he, like me, has
moments when he slips and fails
to be compassionate, loving
and patient. We can choose to
help each other grow or pass
judgement and be resentful.

Today I was able to model a loving
heart. I am grateful for I do
not always have this wisdom
and patience, but as I live my
life from moment to moment,
I see that I am learning how
to be in a position of love.
Life is much better this way.
